I just got M&D via inter- library loan.  I tried reading various  
sections of the book previously to get a taste and couldn't get an  
appetite for it. Well I started from the beginning, partly  wanting  
to gear up for ATD, and that made all the difference. I guess it was  
a matter of acclimating to the language as the story unfolds.   What  
a fun read; I'm laughing and feeling immersed in a world. As a rogue  
Quaker I love and sense the rightness of his take on Friends culture.

What a world of difference from My last read - Epstein's 8th Wonder.   
Every sentence is an engagement of the mind and senses.

Am enjoying the discussion of the seal. Is there a good high res  
version of the image?

Also Has anyone gotten Zak Smiths GR illustrated in book form? What  
say you? Is there an earlier thread on this?
